Hello!

I’m Courtney, a creative leader for purpose-led brands. LA-based, but always open to cross time-zone collaboration.

My Story

I spent the first 10 years of my career making brands famous, mostly at a Boulder ad agency, Crispin, Porter + Bogusky. Their guiding principle? That PR-worthy moments are more effective than paid media advertising. And that if you want people to listen, you have to actually say something. Or better yet, you have to DO something interesting.

For the past 6 years, I served as Sr. Creative Director of Experience Design, leading a team of designers, art directors, writers & strategists at NYC-based co:collective's — a creative and strategic transformation partner for purpose-led businesses. We helped brands figure out their higher purpose and then live that purpose in the world through actions, experiences, products, services, and stories. I also started co:'s visual identity practice building a design team to create visual identities in house.

I believe authentic brand purpose, together with authentic action and an interesting message, are what makes brands beloved by people, no matter the budget.

Services

Creative Ideation

Experiences, activations, PR-worthy moments, campaigns, social activations, influencer campaigns, videos, print, shoots – I've done it all. As a strategically-minded, highly conceptual, art director, I love coming up with the big ideas that help brands live their purpose.

Interim Head of Brand

Need an in-house creative director? I've led teams to build & launch brands from the ground up and helped more established businesses pivot to stay relevant in our ever-changing world.I love helping teams thrive, and mentoring young talent brings me a lot of joy.

Design Direction

I can design everything from the look and feel of your large multi-media campaigns, to social campaigns, to spaces, to experiences. I even once designed a macaroni shaped knuckle ring.

Creative Production

Need help with creative oversight on a production? I have a ton of experience making ideas on paper a reality. I've overseen large-scale video, still and digital productions for brands like Old Navy and small—we've-got-a-camera-and-a-vision style—productions for brands like E! and P.ink.

Visual Identity

I've done branding for start ups and rebrands for more established companies. I've also brought together the right partners and led the design strategy and design direction for both.

Experience Design

Want to co-create ideas directly with your audience? I have experience leading and facilitating meaningful ideation sessions with real people in your target demographic and influencers. The output are ideas that solve problems that are authentic to your audience.
